John was a lifelong friend. I hadn't seen him in years since I moved out of the DC area but you always got a holiday or birthday card from him. We always kept in touch by phone and had lots of long discussions.
John was such a good care giver to his Sister and Mother through all these years. He was so proud and took such good care of his home and property. I don't know what his brothers are going to do without the Holiday meals he always made. I was hoping he had a chance now to enjoy life on his own time. It devastates me that he never got that chance.
Rest in Peace John,
Your friend Dennis

John and I had a unique friendship that lasted more than 40 years. He never failed to call me on my birthday and I never failed to call him on his. Ours was the type of friendship where we would go for months without a visit or call, but could pick up right where we left off. John was so thoughtful that he remembered to bring palms to my Mom on Palm Sunday each year. We supported each other in good and bad times. I hoped I helped him when he lost his Mother in December, as he was there for me when I lost my Dad in March. Thank you John, for the kindness you brought to myself and others throughout your life.

John & family, Sorry to hear about John's passing. I was a classmate of John at Holy Redeemer and remember his family attending the Sunday 9:00 mass where they wold sit close up to the altar on the sacristy side of the church.
John always appeared to keep to himself in school, but was always someone who was smiling.
John, RIP
